THE COP SHOP

The picture above (TOP) was taken this month and shows the Police Station in Wellington Road. The building seems out of keeping with the older-style buildings each side; it speaks of practicality and philistinism. The other photograph shows the previous police station which stood on the same spot – this is another gem from the collection of Gaynor Williams. It is a photo from the late 1950s, and the bobbies of Flintshire Constabulary (as it was then) look quaint lined up in rows and wearing helmets. The occasion is anyone's guess.
